What is the major difference between Comet Hyakutake and Halleys comet?
Halley's Comet was a periodic comet; it returns to the inner system every 76 years. Hale-Bopp is a very long-period comet; it may have been last seen in 2215 BC. That may have been Hale-Bopp's first approach to the Sun; its orbit was likely altered by close brushes with Jupiter then, and again during its last pass in 1997. Hale-Bopp's next appearance may be in or around the year 4530 AD.
What happened 23 July 1995?
* 1995 - Comet Hale-Bopp is discovered and is visibly seen with a naked eye nearly a year later. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_23
Will Comet Hale-Bopp show up again?
Yes, the comet will show up again, but not in our lifetime. The next appearance of Hale-Bopp is not expected until the year 4385 (Yes 4385). A lot will have changed by then - maybe tourists could ride on it!
When is the next sighting of Hale Bop comet?
The Hale-Bopp comet was last visible from Earth in 1997, and it is not expected to return for another 4,200 years. Its next perihelion, or closest approach to the Sun, will occur around the year 4380. Therefore, there won't be any sightings of Hale-Bopp for many generations to come.
Name of comet in 1997 that came closest to earth?
The comet that came closest to Earth in 1997 was Comet Hale-Bopp. It reached its closest approach to Earth in late March of that year, becoming one of the brightest comets visible from Earth in the twentieth century.
When will Hale-Bopp be seen again?
Unfortunately it will enter the inner Solar System again until the year 4385!!!

How long does it take for us to see hale - bopp comet?
Comet Hale-Bopp is still visible in very large telescopes; estimates indicate that it will be visible until 2030, and may be visible longer than that in the improved telescopes of ten years from now.Comet Hale-Bopp is not expected to return to the inner solar system until the year 4390.
Will Comet Hale-Bopp show up again?
Yes, the comet will show up again, but not in our lifetime. The next appearance of Hale-Bopp is not expected until the year 4385 (Yes 4385). A lot will have changed by then - maybe tourists could ride on it!
Did the Hale-Bopp comet strike Jupiter when it was pulled apart by Jupiter's gravity?
No. You may be thinking of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, which did break up and then crash into Jupiter. Hale-Bopp is still headed outward from the Sun, and is expected to return to the inner solar system around the year 4530.

How often does Hale-Bopp appear?
AnswerThe Hale-Bopp comet is now beyond the orbit of Uranus but is expected to still be visible by large telescopes until about 2020. After then, it is not expected to make a return until the year 4534.
Name of comet in 1997 that came closest to earth?
The comet that came closest to Earth in 1997 was Comet Hale-Bopp. It reached its closest approach to Earth in late March of that year, becoming one of the brightest comets visible from Earth in the twentieth century.
What comets have been seen in the daytime?
Generally, only the brightest comets are visible in the daytime. There was a very bright comet in 1911, which preceded the appearance of Halley's Comet that year. Hale-Bopp was briefly visible during the day, as well.
When Halley's comet and the Hale-Bopp comet next return for viewing from Earth?
Halley's comet will next be visible from Earth in 2061, approximately every 76 years. Hale-Bopp, on the other hand, has an orbital period of about 2,532 years, so it won't be visible again from Earth until around the year 4385.
Comet Hale-Bopp appears how often?
The Hale-Bopp Comet will appear in the inner-solar system in approximately the year 4377. This is due to on April 1996 the comet passed within 0.77-0.771 AU of Jupiter, this distance is close enough for the comet's orbit to be affected by the planet's gravitational force.
